In addition to the excellent suggestions so far, this may help. It may be useful to think of thought-forms, in this case your 'ideations', as energetic constructs rather than intellectual ones. It is difficult for the modern mind to conceptually bridge the descartian divide and push an intellectual construct into some material mass no? Part of this exercise is retraining this erroneous conditioning and realizing the rich energetic connections that abound in a superficially material world. You may have experienced this linkage when you think of a friend the same time the phone rings with their call. Or felt someone looking at you from across the room. Your thought-forms are energetically interacting with your reality both within and without constantly. Usually without awareness or intent. And in addition to this shift of perception of internal thought-forms as energetic constructs, also break down the eucharist into an energetic matrix. Trace the food, for example, back to the plant forms and elemental energies, the sun, water, air and earth that are part of the timestream of its existence and consider the alchemical processes at work absorbing this into your body and the way the energy is being processed, transfered and transmuted during this interaction. Then the coupling may feel more natural, as indeed it is. When you start feeling this connection as a fabric rather than an artificial dichotomy between subject and object, you've started to reprogram your reality in some very interesting and useful ways. -emc
